Hi Folks- Since I'm advertising my gig with this band on Feb 27th, I just wanted to put a little sample of the music up. I've posted a few of our more cryptically Celtic arrangements in the past, so I wanted to share this one, which is a…
Hi Vibesworkshop--
Just wanted to put it out there that my quartet is playing at Cornelia Street Cafe (http://www.corneliastreetcafe.com) on Friday, Feb 27th at 9pm and 10:30. We'll be playing our unique mixture of Irish jigs, reels, and…
Maybe this is what is needed to make vibes/marimba more popular ? Dig the showmanship of the bass player (lol)
Made me smile for about 3 seconds....now for something completely different!
Man, I started messing with Dana's Videos, the Mark Levine book and bam, 3 hours later I'm flipping out cause I wanted to hit the sack early tonight.
I think I'm getting it. It's about the 2 outside lines and then how you harmonize THRU a…
This (see attached pics) is where I spend a few hours everyday. It's a room-within-a-room, in my basement. Soundproof for the people next door, and for my family upstairs. I start soon after breakfast, always with the vibes, still trying…

I started working on the Cherokee Etude. Here are the first 32 bars. I cheated a little bit, splicing in a couple sections and removing pauses. Eventually I will get it smoothed out.
My sticking is different from Tony's suggested…
I was watching a video of a concert by Bobby Hutcherson and Joey de Francesco and in the middle of the concert there was this interview made to Bobby Hutcherson, I was blown away by his words. I just wanted to share this with you because I…
I just read that Joe Cuba died yesterday on Sunday, February 15th. I only knew of Joe from his hit "Bang Bang" and that was the result of Cal Tjader covering it on Cal's Primo album (David Sanborn also covered it among others). The…
All of this great drop 2 stuff from Dana has gotten me thinking about voicings I find myself using a lot, and I thought I'd post some that I think emphasize the strengths of the instrument while negotiating its limited range. I use these…
I am posting the music to just the A section of a diatonic song in C. This is a 6/8 dance song from the state of Chiapas in Mexico. See if you can harmonize it in closed voicings and drop 2.
Once you have the hang of it, try it in all…
